"Green Mountain offers a great atmosphere to grow both academically
and athletically. The beautiful campus is just the beginning;
behind the scenes faculty and staff encourage students to grow
through individual attention in the classroom as well as on the
court or field. I believe athletics at GMC is a positive and
unforgettable experience that teaches the student- athletes
necessary skills that they will use for the rest of their lives." -
